1. 1 ♥ Shall I pass because I have two HCP less then QJx,QJx,QJx,QJxx?

2. I transfer to 3 Spade and keep on bidding into slamdirection.
Kind Regards

1) 1♥ WTP
2) Agree with all the 3♠ then 4♣ bidders.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

1. I am allergic to Zar points, this hand is borderline to open. I don't think that either 1♥ or Pass is wrong. Never ever 2♥ though, but I'm sure you know that yourself. I love questions without wrong answers!

2. 3♠ if that's the forcing variation in your Lebensohl, then 4♣ over 3NT from pd.

1. 1♥ never passing with both majors and this much distribution and strength. Especially first seat.

2. 3♠ force and some slam interest when i proceed to at least 4♠ later

1) I pass. With all those major suit cards there will never be a problem to enter the bidding. Had I held the minors instead I would be more tempted.

2) Whatever your system tells you to bid showing a forcing ♠-bid. Will not pass 3NT as I think we're in the slam-zone

Would you open 2♥ w/w with ♠Txx ♥QJ8xxx ♦x ♣Axx? If so, I can't see passing with hand #1.

In my own system I would open the actual hand with 2♥, but not showing weak 2 but both majors and BELOW opening strength. I would pass the second hand as we have no bid to show weak 2.

Your theoretical hand I would gladly open a weak 2 if available in the system. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have to open 1 of a suit if you add a little strength. I like to have full values for my opening bids. Hate to see partner's disappointment when laying down a dummy which doesn't agree with his expevtations. If we end up in a NT-contract partner might not be happy, expecting more

Sure, you can enter the bidding later, but to suggest it will always be safe is an overbid.

1H on the first and 3H showing spades on the second, just to be different.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

1) If 1H is your style, thats fine, but its not mine, I pass.

2) I'm bidding 4H (♠ xfr) now, followed by 5C (if I can).
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.
